The Two of Us

Chapter 5

Noel-

Shots after shots, and mixing drinks, I didn't realize how much I was drinking until I found myself giving G a lap dance, with a red cup of lean. Feeling his fingers grip my body, it gave me a sense of security yet it still made goosebumps cover my legs.

...

I lazily opened my eyes, only to quickly shut them, when even the dim light seemed too bright. I groaned, rubbing my eyes, slowly opening them, only not to see my poster of Harry Styles taped to my ceiling. My eyes widened in shock looking around the room not recognizing it, I rushed out of the bed suddenly embedded in chills. I looked down to my body seeing that I am in my bra and panties.

Shit. I lost it last night. Just as I was about to scream and cry I got a scent of a cigarette lingering into the room. Opening the door, to be created with red cups and trash littering the floor, I made my way to the heart of the aroma.

I saw the side of a man with slicked back hair. I approached him and say in the open chair right in front of him.

He looked at me while taking a drag at his cigarette, examining my bare skin, causing me to stare blankly at him. Releasing the smoke he finally spoke. " Morning sunshine." Taking me by surprise.

I looked at him slightly confused. I clenched my jaw trying to think of what to say. I opened my mouth to speak but closed it. Then opening it again realizing what I was going to say. "Did we? Did I-"

"No...uh you kinda got sick, and ruining your shirt, and you kind of stripped down." He explained. " I tried to wash it but, uh it just got worse. I didn't want to take advantage."

"Oh." Was all I managed to say, watching him take another drag.

"Your clothes are on the chair next to the bed you slept in." he mentioned, as he noticed myself getting slightly conscious of my appearance.

I nodded at the information before getting up and walking quickly to the room, earning a low chuckle from G.

I dressed in my jeans, and pulled on a faded black shirt that I assume is G's as it smelled of his scent, then layering my flannel over, lastly slipping on my shoes. Before walking out of the room I pulled my long locks into a high pony.

I looked around for my phone, and bag realizing I didn't remember where I put it, only to see it in the nightstand.

I walked out of the room to see G still sitting in the same spot I had left him.

I didn't know what to do so I kinda just stood there, until I felt overwhelmingly uncomfortable again.

"Well, um I should get going, so I'll just-"

""Oh yeah, we should go get some coffee." This boy is always cutting me off, but I was stunned how he kind of just made plans to get coffee.

"Uh yeah, sure, of course." I managed to spit out, sounding stupid in the process, causing my cheeks to burn crimson.

He laughed lightly before getting up and walking to the door, as I followed closely behind him.

Taking an elevator was again extremely awkward, the silence was louder than a two year old throwing a hissy fit. To my relief, we finally met the ground, and exited the elevator then walked out the front doors of the lobby.

Suddenly I felt an arm creep up around my shoulder causing me to become wide eyed, especially when he brought me closer to him. His scent reeked of cigarettes, mint, and a lingering hint of weed. It was slowly but progressively becoming my favorite scent.

We walked down to the coffee shop that was down the street. As I found a booth in the corner, G ordered two large coffees, then quickly sat in the booth.

After taking a sip of my black coffee, I heard him speak. "So Noel?" He asked reassuringly, causing me to nod, and him to crack a smile at his slight accomplishment. " Tell me about yourself."

"There's a lot to know." I subconsciously spoke.

"I've got time." He smiled before taking a sip of his coffee.

In that moment, I knew he'd be my poison.
